Abstract
The phase diagram of the Yb–Ge system was investigated over the whole compositional range by means of differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), optical microscopy (LOM) and electron probe microanalysis (EMPA). Besides the already known intermediate phases Yb 2Ge (PbCl 2-type), Yb 5Ge 3 (Mn 5Si 3-type), Yb 11Ge 10 (Ho 11Ge 10-type) and Yb 3Ge 5 (Th 3Pd 5-type), two new compounds have been found: Yb 5Ge 4 (Sm 5Ge 4-type) and Yb 3Ge 8, which crystallize with a new triclinic structure type. All the compounds formed in the system have been completely structurally characterized by single crystal determinations.
